    It's also important to realise that, because the Israeli electoral system is proportional, only a small minority of Israelis voted for them. Ben Gvir and Smotrich's parties got ONLY ~5% EACH. That's TINY. Yet because of the political havoc, they are indispensable for the coalition they're in.

    The question of not doing something to get rid of them is stupid. They were elected in democratic elections. That means they do represent a slice of the population, over 10.8%. Netanyahu chose to collaborate with them, and he himself represents the largest slice of the population, 23.4%. He managed to build a coalition, comprising of over 50% of the elected Knesset members (MPs), meaning that ultimately, these freaks represent the majority of the people. That's democracy. Sometimes you're in the majority and sometimes in the minority and that's it.
    These people did do something to get rid of them, and that was to vote for a different party in the elections. That's what everyone CAN do. Protests don't do anything but say "we don't like that we lost the elections".

      It can be hard to comprehend from the US political system but in many country, there's between 3 to 5 important political parties surrounded by sometimes dozen or other smaller ones.
      When a consensus can't be reached by one of the big parties, he has to compromise with smaller ones that are the closest to his view.
      When the war started, other parties form the left ask Bibi to form a new coalition, with them in it, at the condition that he would kick out the far right extremists such as mentioned in the video.
      Bibi chosed to refuse their offer as he knew that his political field of action would be less restricted by keeping the far right at his side, rather than try an alliance with the left, that could sabotage him in the long term.

      You may notice that everyone he interviewed was from a coastal city, and only one of them was a Mizrahi.
      Ben Gvir received 11% of the vote (about 14 or 15 percent of the Israeli Jewish vote) and many more Israelis who didn't vote for him in that election said that they would vote for him in the next one now that he's proven to be a competitive candidate.
      During the struggle to pass judicial reforms, in the face of the leftist tantrum, Ben Gvir won even more support. After the wake-up call that was October 7th, the entire country shifted to the right, with only the most insane fringes remaining on the left. Those who had voted for labor will now vote for Bibi or Benet, and those who had voted for bb or Benet will now vote for Ben Gvir, Smotrich, or Sofer.

    Dear Akiva (great name) I really don't think Caitlin Johnstone's quote is antithetical but rather fundamental to understanding the path to peace, and I will explain, but first introductions. I too am a product of two cultures British born and bred but keen to understand and learn about my Palestinian Christian heritage. We could argue that we both should be in a position to better understand the outlook of oppressor and oppressed. I've always admired the culture of the Irish people as connoisseurs of social justice. To have a homeland where you can achieve self-determination and escape persecution is a very reasonable aspiration, and the Palestinians thought the same with the early Jewish settlers, arriving before the conflict started. My own grandfather, a Christian Palestinian in Haifa, took in two Jewish families into the family home. He was horrified by the stories of persecution they had suffered in Europe and was happy to offer them hospitality. Providing hospitality to visitors and new neighbours was not unusual - it was the norm, custom and practise. My mother told me stories of how Palestinian farmers helped to show the early Jewish settlers how to work the land and which crops to plant, european settlers that were sometimes unfamiliar with farming let alone farming in the middle-east. Christians and Jews in the region had lived in peace with the Muslim majority for generations. My grandfather was forced to get his family to safety at the point of a gun in 1947. There but for the grace of god go I. Having listened to historians like Avi Shlaim I know that Arabs and Jews could and have lived in peace with mutual respect. Implicit in Caitlin Johnstone's quote is the understanding that if you remove the violence and subjugation of the oppressor you are well on the road to peace. I would suggest that you can't have reconciliation without justice being seen to be done for the benefit of both sides such that mutual respect can start to be restored. If you feel like replying I for one would be keen to read it.

They are from 2 pretty tiny parties and represent relatively few people. Enough people voted for Bibi Netanyahu that he won the Prime Minister-ship - unfortunately IMO.

      It's a moral quandary for sure. Every war on land, especially in urban areas, entails the death of uninvolved civilians. You can work hard to minimize that number, or be murderous to maximize that number, but the number exists and will inevitably exist due the nature of war. Since it goes hand in hand with war, the question you propose is not different from "Is the war in Gaza justified?", of which the answer would be a resounding yes. The threat on Israel must be dealt with, and it cannot be allowed to pose danger on the Israeli population anymore. As a bonus, the population of Gaza would be free of the tyrannical rule they've been under.
      By wording your question the way that you did, I assume you imply that there's a goal or intent in this war TO kill civilians, as if there's a quota to fill. This is not a war of revenge, there's no eye for an eye. There's no intention to kill civilians, there's no war room where generals point at the civilian Mahmoud Muhammad's home and say his family should perish. The civilians are collateral, unintended casualties, in the war against Hamas. Israel and the IDF in particular operate incredibly to minimize the number of civilian deaths, but as I previously said, a number is inevitable. That number can be pinned on whoever started the war, for he knew that civilians would die if he gave the go-ahead, and that is Hamas.

Imagine a jewish organization that is banned IN ISRAEL as a terrorist group! Imagine being too extremist to serve in the ISRAELI army! Smotrich lives in a settlement that is classified internationally as illegal and even denies the very existence of a palestinian people. He was arrested in 2005 for possession of 700 litres of gasolene in an attempt to blow up a highway, to protest disengagement from Gaza, and repeatedly displays extremely homophobic and misogynistic views. These are completely unhinged racist extremists and terrorists, and their power is a perfect proof of the illness in israeli society. It's doomed.

  • @mickymiller6130

    Much of this was predicted by the late professor Zeev Sternhell, a Holocaust survivor and Israel’s foremost authority on fascism, who explained in his 2018 essay titled “In Israel, Growing Fascism and a Racism Akin to Early Nazism” that these fascists “don’t wish to physically harm Palestinians. They only wish to deprive them of their basic human rights, such as self-rule in their own state and freedom from oppression.” Though the appointment of the sadistic Ben Gvir as minister of National Security is about wishing the Palestinians physical harm.
    In short, those who continue to doubt that fascism is an impending danger for Israel, are not paying attention to how its coalescing chauvinistic forces are planning on ravaging whatever is left of Israel’s liberal institutions in order to turn the Jewish state into a full-fledged fascist theocracy.
